With Forza Horizon 6 out in the wild, it's best to get ready by acquiring a steering wheel controller accessory so you can play the game as if you're driving a real car, just like old racing arcade machines.
If you're planning on playing Forza Horizon 6 on PC, one of the best steering wheel controllers to use on that system is the Logitech G29, which is currently on a 31% Memorial Day discount for $199.99 at Amazon.
Why buy the Logitech G29 racing wheel?
While you can play Forza Horizon 6 just fine using a regular controller, they don't compare to the immersive feel you get when using a steering wheel controller, and the Logitech G29 is one of the better ones for PC and PlayStation hardware.
It can rotate 900 degrees just like a real car's steering wheel, it has revolutions-per-minute (RPM) lights that warn the player when they shift gears, and it has Hall Effect Sensors to help the player steer the car better, thanks to their sublime input detection.
Other notable features of the Logitech G29 include bundled pedals, a durable yet comfy build, a built-in plus/minus button with a control knob so the player can adjust their vehicle's internal settings instantly, and dual-motor Real Force Feedback that provides immersive feedback to help sell the feeling that you're driving a car.
The only real downside is that the Logitech G29 isn't compatible with Xbox consoles, unlike its counterpart, the Logitech G920. Other than that, it's an incredible steering wheel controller and one we highly recommend for any racing games on PC.
